Peter, Thanks for the info. I would appreciate the phone numbers for future reference. Working with a company that is already tuned in to making digital negs at the quality level used for the Lenswork's editions is valuable info. The biggest barrier to going in this direction is that you don't get to run the equipment yourself and frequently are trying to work with people who may not have a clue as to what you want to achieve and keep giving you a prepress solution. At one time we had the editor of Lenswork posting about the editions and he promised to give us the workflow in detail but never returned.
